NC H607

Clarifies the conditions and timing for restoring a driver's license after a habitual DWI (driving while impaired) conviction under G.S. 20-19(e4).

Requires that a person's license must be revoked for at least 10 years after conviction before the Division may conditionally restore it, with an additional requirement if the offense involved serious injury or death of another person.

Changes the substance abuse requirement from a blanket prohibition on any alcohol use to requiring proof that the person has not used alcohol or unlawfully used controlled substances since conviction and is not currently an excessive user of prescription drugs.

Maintains the requirement that applicants prove they have not been convicted of motor vehicle offenses, alcohol beverage control violations, drug offenses, or other criminal offenses in the 10 years immediately preceding their application.
